If I Were A Ghost

Noted Nest

Updated: Oct 5, 2024

If I were a ghost

I’d explore the globe

Watching things back and forth

Trying to help children finish their pillow forts

Running after thief’s and slowing them down

Watching dusk till dawn

Watching as people work hard

While some just laze around

When some people follow their dreamsWhile some lose hope

Walking into bakery’s and smelling the amazing scents

Admiring art across galleries all around

Wandering through carnivals

Aimlessly gazing on the Ferris wheel

Spinning the teacups as fast as I can

While watching as kids laugh and yellOn the carousel spinning round’n’round

Thinking about what all I did wrong

When I decide to have some fun

I end up making children run to their mums

Watching as kids grow old

And watching as my stuff grows mold

Some picture me as a terrifying beast

But some think I have never been

They don’t realise that these thoughts may hurt me

And some respect my peace

Despite everything that goes on

The memories of my past life remain to sting
